A$AP Rocky and Schoolboy Q have great chemistry together. I wouldn't mind an EP from those two.

This song in particular is pretty good. Also, to keep the echo chamber going strong, "Run The Jewels" kicks loving rear end all over the place.

thathonkey posted:Eh whatever you want to call it. A lot of places are calling it an EP because it is only ~30m of music. It is kind of in a grey area between EP and LP. But that is just a semantic quibble. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_play If it's over 4 songs and over 25 minutes, it's an album. If it's under 25 minutes, it's an EP. RTJ is 33 minutes. with weird exceptions, like: Mars Volta "Frances The Mute", 5 songs, ~80 minutes got split into 12 songs to get LP royalties. I don't think MV wanted an EP, just the label was being weird about it. The finalized track listing had five tracks and was intended to be released as such on all formats; the vinyl version and online retailer copies (such as those from the iTunes Store) can be found with this track listing. Because of disputes with Universal Records, "Cassandra Gemini" (listed as "Cassandra Geminni" on most versions of the album) [note 1] was arbitrarily split into eight tracks on the CD version, taking up tracks 5 through 12, since the band would otherwise only be paid an EP's wages for a 5 track album. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_the_Mute new Kevin Gates sounds amazing. I like when El-P beats sound like their own sonic world. All these beats on RTJ have a similar aesthetic, it's cool, but poo poo nowadays Aesop Rock is making El-P beats better than El-P is. cardedagain fucked around with this message at 09:19 on Jun 27, 2013 |

Fly McCool posted:Run the Jewels is cool and I'm back on the fence about spending 40 dollars to see Killer Mike live 40$ for the RTJ show? drat it is only like 18$ in my city (albeit at the shittiest concert venue that we have).

I'm a Kanye fan and it was one of my most anticipated albums of the year  That being said, I doubt it even makes my overall top 10 this year mostly because there is a lot of better poo poo out already and it is only June.

Had Run The Jewels on loop since yesterday, and honestly I'm having a hard time thinking of a hip-hop album coming out this year that might match it. It' so loving cohesive and it's 33 straight minutes of pure fire. Hype and premature dick-riding aside, what else is coming out before the end of 2013 that could challenge this? Danny Brown's OLD? Or Earl's DORIS? I'm probably missing a couple of big ones. Anyone? I also love how El used fragments of sounds/instrumentals from either C4C or R.A.P Music and twisted them, used them in different manners. Like how "No Come Down" feels like a bizarro version of C4C's "Stay Down", even down to the first couple of lines in both El and Mike's verses. Or the drums from Untitled (I think?) being re-used and remixed for one of the tracks, can't remember which. Or the extended cymbals splashing on Twin Hype Back. Or how "A Christmas loving Miracle" has the same melancholic/bittersweet/hopeful vibe as "$4 Vic" and "Poisenville Kids No Wins". There are tons of nods to both Mike and El's previous albums, it's insane. Hip Gelatinous Cube fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Jun 27, 2013 |

I'll be honest, I hadn't listened to any of the Run the Jewels stuff that had been released before the album. And I was like meh yesterday, and then you guys all went loving crazy and I assumed it might be you guys hyping it the gently caress up. Then I downloaded and pressed play. Jesus, what the gently caress. Between this and the RubenSlikk album a few pages back, I'm good for the next couple weeks. One thing I like is how much it's El-P's sound but cleaned up and evolved. There's hints of songs like Stepfather Factory and Fantastic Damage in some of these beats.

Yeah, what a great album, I'm really not finding any truly skippable tracks. R.A.P. Music and Pl3dge were both solid but this might top them, already got my DDFH shirt coming in the mail.

Yaoi Mandel posted:your ho is wrong. Great rebuttal. So you didnt think acid rap was disappointing? I didnt hate it or anything but i think his previous mixtape was better. Like he bit off more than he could chew, musically. Kudos for the effort but it didnt really come together for me. Especially after someone in this thread said Chance is better than 90% of the music posted in this thread i was expecting more from it. sorry you disagree with my opinions on music but if you cant articulate why im wrong then im afraid youre the one whose ho is in bad shape

Run the jewels is not THAT good. Plenty of skips, weak as gently caress vocals on some songs, ect. It is better than freddie gibbs in the aspect that it isn't just trap. I don't think it comes close to last years greatest album for me D.R.U.G.S. as there is almost zero versatility displayed. It goes hard as gently caress but I think new danny brown or the cocaine pinananananataz would smash it.Gladstone posted:ESGN all day every day :E Same! The chick next to me on the barrier dropped shitloads and was flashing the whole time  Such a good event, I liked how asap rocky wore a coogi sweater to rep the only part of australian hip hop history we have

e: ^^ the bartender at the left wearing the tight as fuuu shirt was hot as gently caress. I prefer Indigoism to D.R.U.G.S but currently ESGN, Yeezus are my favourite releases. This year is amazing though, still got pusha, doomstarks, danny brown etc. Shame Cocaine Pinatas is so far away. e: @ HarleyC, tbh I got more hyped from them playing the Future songs lol than their actual set list. I thought their set list was pretty meh, I was hoping for Brand New Guys. Gladstone fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Jun 27, 2013 |
